"Judge Denies Daniel Penny's Motion to Dismiss Involuntary Manslaughter Case in Jordan Neely Chokehold Death"

A New York City judge has denied Daniel Penny's request to dismiss the case against him for placing Jordan Neely, a Black subway rider, in a fatal chokehold last year. Penny, a Marine veteran, pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. The incident, which occurred on the F train in Manhattan, resulted in Neely's death and sparked a national debate on homelessness, mental health, and violence on subways. Penny claims he was defending himself and other passengers, while Neely's family revealed his struggles with homelessness and mental health issues.
